Wannabe Hollywood Movie Action Star aka the Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will testify before the House Armed Services Committee.
The hearing is Hegshits first since he helped Potato start the choice war with Iran.
ABC News (04/29/2026):
At the center of this week’s hearings is the administration’s request for $1.5 trillion in defense spending, the largest amount in the Pentagon’s history and a jump of 50% over current levels, which would mark the largest single-year increase in a generation.
The proposal would triple spending on drones and related technologies to more than $74 billion, while directing over $30 billion toward munitions procurement. But that budget request was developed months ago: not account for spending in the war with Iran.

That means the Pentagon may require additional funding to cover the cost of the vast quantities of munitions being expended as U.S. forces have struck more than 13,000 targets in Iran since February, along with other significant war-related expenses.
ABC News (04/29/2026).
Hegshit will be joined by Gen. Dan Caine and Jules Hurst III, acting undersecretary of defense and the Pentagon’s comptroller
I assume these questions will be asked:
Official request to change the Department of Defense to the Department of War:
The Pentagon is asking Congress to formally change DOD’s name to the Department of War. The push – which DOD estimates has cost ~$52 million – would require 7,600 changes to law, per a legislative proposal sent to the Hill this month. https://t.co/BbwqTgewwy

No punishment. No investigation.
Carry on, patriots. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/Zqhv1Zx1iG
Whatever is asked it’s sure to be a shitshow.
The same people appear before the Senate tomorrow.
